had hold placed
I have an account with Pay Pal.
I’ve had an active PayPal account for the entire timeline of this suit and have had disputed transaction funds held/taken out of my account balance at least 4 times in this period. These disputes have always ended in my favor and the funds were then returned, but I contacted them each time to state I felt it felt like a punitive action on their part.
Is that what it takes – threatening a class-action lawsuit against them EACH and EVERY time they hold your funds for no reason? I’ve been selling with eBay/PayPal since 2010 and all of a sudden they’ve started doing the “new seller hold on funds” crap for no apparent reason. It’s been more than 90 days, my account isn’t “new” and I’ve sold more than the $750 minimum to get that to stop happening. They’ve taken to starting to hold the funds so I can’t ship the items so I’ve been having to refund the customers’ money and now I”m getting loads of bad feedback from customers!! This is costing me what little business I have these days.
Paypal is doing some doing some disservice to its users(sellers) . Since when do they keep trying to refund your buyer from your connected bank account when the money sits in paypal? Paypal doesn’t release its fees at the same time you as a seller on a platform that accepts Paypal does a refund. Therefore csusing your pauupal balance to be short then they go after your bank account.
OMG Me too They Cancelled my account
The problem with this claim is that they require you to upload documentation. My account was closed in 2010 after suspending almost $1200 in payments which I never recovered. I couldn’t afford to take legal action against them, and have moved and changed computers and email addresses several times since then, and no longer have any documentation.
I happened to have a file from 10 years ago with all documentation, and I saved emails and screenshots. Doesn’t seem to matter they have not mailed checks to any itemized claims. A PayPal double stick-it-to-ya.
ADMIN – Hi Grecua,
Contact the class action administrator. Many people have had their checks lost in the mail.
They took money off my prepaid card more than once to establish the paypal account but never let the account be full established.
Hi ; PayPay refunded money and never sent me a notice. when I went to my account, I had no money and they said I owe them . fact is got a bill from a collection agency’s last week they had turn over.. I have all my emails , with all the proof I did not owe the money. the state also said I had paid them what I owe.. PayPal would say they were active looking into and I would go an a day later it would be closed again.. any way they took my money then called for a the money they paid. I did not know they could do that.. or get into my credit card and bank account , I put a stop payment on my bank account.
Yours Barbara Moore; 2/7/2016
ADMIN – Hi Barbara,
When you first sign into PayPal you give them authorization to withdraw funds from you bank account. That is how PayPal works.
I’ve dealt with them many years and just called them the other day
i have an account
Does this include the hold that they put on when you receive a ebay payment and they hold it for a couple weeks.
ADMIN – Hi John,
No, I don’t believe that hold is part of this settlement.
I Still Have And Active Account Was Promise Numerous Of Payments .But I Never Received A Dime year 2013 -2016 Amounts Ragring from $50.00 Dollars To ,2,000 Dollars That’s Said How People Get Away With Mis Using Young And Old Individuals Hard Earned Money.This Florence Payton.
ADMIN – Hi Florence,
I removed your personal information. If you believe you are a member of this class please file a claim
I live in Palmdale California and yes my account was Suspended.between 2006- 2016.
How do I file a claim without documented proof?
ADMIN – Hi Gabby,
From what I see this is asking you for you paypal account email and not necessarily for documentation.
I have an account with PayPal.
I have an account with Paypal
I had an account with pay pal but they closed my account I don’t have documentation to prove I had the account at the time don’t no what to do.
ADMIN – Hi Niki,
I encourage you to contact the admin or paypal customer service to see if they can access your files and provide you with the proof you need.
I had my monies held.
Paypal over a 6 or 8 year time period arbitrarily placed HOLDs on payments to my business and decided to charge-back payments to online customer disputes based upon unhappy customers seeking service of process when the clients’ own info on where to serve was poor or inaccurate, blaming no process service on the process server who merely goes to the address provided by the customer. However, Paypal, having no experience in service of process, gave customer fees back to the customer based soley on an unhappy Paypal user.
In today’s use of Paypal, every incoming Paypal payment includes worry that we will loose income based on uninformed Paypal monitors with no experience or understanding serving court summons and order and chasing down dead-beat parents avoiding being found.
Shame on you Paypal !
WHERE DO I I GET A CLAIM FORM. I HAVE D0CUMENTS I MUST SEND TO YOU.
THANK YOU RONALD
ADMIN – Hi Ronald,
If you scroll up you will see a link that reads “click here to file a claim…” If you click on the link it will lead you to this https://www.accountholdsettlement.com/Home/SubmitClaim You can use that page to file electronically.
Ya PayPal facilitated theft against me for a couple hundred dollars in zepeda sends me a stupid check for $11.57 now I feel like I’m getting ripped off again please adequately fix my claim or maybe there needs to be another claim…..
I had an account with paypal
I had several holds related to pay pal
does this also apply to funds being held for 20 days or longer after ebay sales? They insisted on holding my funds until I had 10 positive replies about my sales from purchasers, and every time I sold something I couldn’t afford to mail the items because they held my money.
ADMIN – Hi Debbie,
Contact the class action administrator to get clarification on this matter.
This is a common practice used to float your money………its wrong and yes we all should file another class action in my opinion
Paypal has a current hold on my account and will not release my funds for 6 months!
How much are the god damn lawyers going to make off of this?
ADMIN – Hi Jeff,
Per the terms of the settlement Class Counsel may apply to the Court for reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and service awards for the named class representatives in an amount of up to 30% of the Settlement Fund for all plaintiffs. But do keep in mind that without their work nobody would get a single penny. If you feel this is unfair you can always exclude yourself from the class and file a lawsuit against PayPal on your own.
How can I find the info to upload? I’ve had holds placed many times and still have an active account.
ADMIN – Hi Jay,
Go to your PayPal history or check in your inbox if you are the type of person that never deletes a thing.
I had multiple accounts in this timeline. Can a person fill a claim for each account or is it 1 claim for 1 person? Thanks.
ADMIN – HI Zachary,
I believe it is one per account.
have an account Paypal took monies out of my cking acct.4 times in a roe without permission in one month and suspended my acct.
have an acct, paypal at one time tried to take monies out of my acct. 4 times in a row without permission and another time took it twice in a month and suspended my acct.
I had a hold/suspension placed on me without having a chance to make things right on an item I had not paid for on time due to hospitalization. I was finally able to contact the seller myself and paid for the item but I thought it was quite uncalled for that paypal would just suspend me before a resolution was made.
I filed a claim but I saw paypal put my account on hold on november 6th 2015 not november 5th So I feel as though I need to be removed from this settlement now. i deleted my held account and made a new one recently with no problems.
ADMIN – Hi Carlos,
To be excluded you need to contact the admin directly.
and where do i do that?

My account was placed on hold and they took 300.00 from my account with out authorization. I have documentation and emails to provide.
ADMIN – Hi Cheryl,
Great! File a claim.
they closed my account
I am on this recent class action case and did not get my $20,000 settlement yet.
Why haven’t it been mailed out to me?
ADMIN – Hi Patricia,
I don’t think this settlement will pay that much.
Just read the settlement. Now, my PP account has been on hold since 5/1/2013 for $156.83 that was refunded to a woman who bought a dress off of ebay from myself. So, you mean to tell me after 4 years of no PayPal, the $156.83, that PP unfairly took from me and a hold on my account, which prevented me from a lot of sales and opportunities, that I am only going to get a measly $3.00???????? Tell me I am wrong as to what I read in the settlement.
ADMIN – Hi Lisa,
I cannot speak as to specific cases.
I submitted a claim form when how do I get my money
ADMIN – Hi Ernesto,

ADMIN – Hi Saycia,

ADMIN – Hi Cathleen,
The final hearing was on February 7. I have not yet seen an update.
I am checking on my claim against PayPal they held my account in 2015 just before you guys asked us to file for the claim if they held it for a long period. Mine was held over a three month period. When will I get my payment? By the way, I am a current holder of a PayPal Account. I know the court case was on the 7 February, 2017. So did we win? Will I get a payment? Like yesterday?

I had filed a claim with this matter online as of January 4, 2018 todays date I have heard others are receiving their checks and I have received nothing at all. I was wondering I had moved in March of 2017 and changed my address via mail office but would they forward any checks related to the settlement from then to now. I did try calling the number listed but did not receive any information regarding a change in address. Could you help me out here. I would appreciate your assistance.

Please respond asap concerning this issue.

ADMIN – Hi Courtney,
This is the number you need to contact 877-854-4514
When will checks be issued???
ADMIN – Hi Samantha,
I don’t think so.
Ok this is May 9, 2017 I have been a paypal account holder since 2005 or longer, my problem is they are HOLDING my money illegally floating it for their purposes. My score on ebay is 350 + positive transactions yet recently they began holding funds or what they call pending. The issue is it takes approximately 7 days to get MY OWN MONEY.. IN the meantime the item was shipped and I had to pay shipping cost from my own funds…..secondly I do NOT fit any of the parameters used by paypal to HOLD or make the funds pending……….SO whats the recourse? I would like to begin ANOTHER class action based on this circumstances…………
ADMIN – Hi Joseph,
If you want to start a class action settlement you need to locate a class action attorney.
I have been involved in several of these law suits, and have learned – patience. The date that the payments, if any, will be posted. This is not the only one that the courts are hearing.
I called and spoke to someone at Quantum Legal, LLC and this was their response: Final approval of the settlement was granted March 23, 2017, assuming there are no appeals before April 22, 2017. The final approval order becomes a final judgement and money “could be” paid out as early as mid July. However, if there is an appeal the final distribution of the settlement funds could be delayed by more than a year.
I don’t believe there was an appeal made, so hopefully mid July……
Thank you, Tracy for your response and for giving us an update.
I know it sounds a bit corny, but I find it to be very refreshing that someone would set-up this website; and we, as a community, can respond and help each other navigate this strange wold of legalese.
Thank you all very much!
Will we be receiving any payment?
ADMIN – Anthony,

PO Box 4259
Portland, OR 97208-4259
They are still doing this a year and a half after the suit. And to add insult to injury, they’re holding the funds of my Paypal account, while they charge my Paypal prepaid card straight into a negative balance with service fees, including atm fees I was instantly charged, despite being unable to access my funds. I didn’t reply at first, because I hadn’t specifically had to cope with the problem of held funds up until then, but since receiving notice of the class action suit, I have on multiply occasions been forced to deal with this very same problem, even as recently as today, May 20th. Pretty shady still utilizing the same business practices they were sued for, only a month after the appeals deadline. I think they were just fine not filing an appeal, if they could validate that they could still get away with the same underhanded business practices.
I filed my claim then moved. Can I file a change of address so that my check comes to the right address
ADMIN – Hi Jennifer,
Yes you can, submit your change of address to the class action admin.
How do I contact them?

ADMIN – Hi Brad,
I am the administrator of this page. The administrator of this settlement is a separate party. The number for the class counsel is available in the long notice.
Just an fyi, each month they play that game with me too. Since May 2017, they continue to withhold monies of up to several hundred dollars since I opened a business account with them. Prior to this I used a personal account with not one single issue.
This is Frances Lewis, I had filed for the lawsuit but never received any answer back. Would appreciate a response
Thank you
Frances
ADMIN – Hi Frances,
I can’t help you. To obtain additional information about your claim you must reach out to the class action administrator.
Were settlement payments issued yet?
ADMIN – Hi Tamara,
UPDATE:As of July 11, 2017, all appeals have been resolved. The Settlement Administrator is now in the process of reviewing all claims previously submitted. Payments for all valid claims will be sent by no later than October 24, 2017.
I am just now experiencing a problem with a Paypal claim. Their resolution department doesn’t follow through, and isn’t reviewing the case properly. I keep resubmitting, but get no response. I am not a part of this current claim due to time line. Who can I contact to resolve this issue? It has been going on for 6 months now.
Thank you
ADMIN – Hi Angelina,
I have no idea who can help you with your situation. If you have a customer service issue with PayPal just escalate as high as you can go.
Is there any way to join this claim?
ADMIN – Hi Jessica,
Unless you are a time traveler, there is not a way to file a claim when the deadline has passed.
Question did u receive a email confirmation after filing your claim i have two emails advising of the class action but no confirmation i actually filed and i cannot remember if i did or didnt seeing it was so long ago
ADMIN – Hi Mercedes,
I can’t answer your question as I was not part of this class but hopefully someone here can.
And still a account holder
can there be a class action lawsuit against PayPal for permanently limiting accounts without warning and given no chance to appeal, and holding the funds for 6 months? While the agreement says paypal can limit your account if you violate the acceptable use policy, but nowhere in the policy does it say PayPal can limit your account without warning and no chance to appeal. Paypal should either ask for documentation that what I’m selling is legal and should give a chance to appeal. and holding the funds for 6 months is going to extremes, and it is an abuse of power, not to mention that is theft because that is MY money, not theirs.
ADMIN – Hi Karin,
You can always contact a lawyer that specializes in class action settlements in your area.
How can I find out if payment has been sent to me?
ADMIN – Hi Sue,
The payments won’t be forwarded until October.
Me and my wife were dumb enough to open one 2 weeks ago. We just found out paypal is still doing the same illegal activities, if a there is another suit for people like use we want in .
ADMIN – Hi Hugh,
Two weeks is such a short period to get into a conundrum like this
My PayPal had a hold placed on it in the Fall of 2013. We had just relocated to NC and a family friend was sending us funds to relocate and PayPal froze both my account and my husband, Joshua Furby, accounts and just recently released the hold. The hold was released after this settlement. We both files claims and recently sent certified mail to you stating our new address. This has been an awfully experience and made relocating so much harder. Even when I was diagnosed with breast cancer they would not let me send or receive money to help with medical costs. Horrible company.
ADMIN – Hi Marigrace,
You did not send anything to us. We are not the class action administrator.
Is sending them a w-9 seriously required to get paid?
ADMIN – Hi There!
If they are requesting it, it is required.
Anyone get paid from this yet? They totally destroyed my business! I know what I lost because of them will never be replaced. But thank you for fighting for us. Hope to see some checks coming soon.
did any receive the payment? I had submitted the claim, but didn’t receive any check.
Paynents status?
ADMIN – Hi Kathy,
As indicated on our Facebook page which you can follow here https://www.facebook.com/ClassActionRebates/ the payments were sent yesterday via snail mail.
HELLO KATHY IM ALSO WAITING PAYMENT. WHAT IS SNAIL MAIL
ADMIN – Hi Kenya,
Snail mail is when someone uses regular postal service with a stamp on the letter.
Got check for Eleven Dollars and 57 cents. Really?
ADMIN – Hi Mops,
How much were you expecting?
Hi! Considering how much harm they did and the settlement amount, no less than $100.
ADMIN – Hi Mops,
That sounds like a nice amount but the reality is that the judge decides what is fair given the information they have available at the time of the final hearing.
Informed delivery shows something from the lawsuit will be delivered today to my address. I’m in Stockton, Ca and the return address on envelope is Portland, Or. So depending on location it may take a few more days to arrive.
I submitted a claim with itemized verification. I have not received my check and there is no one who answers the 877 # ( for the years it has been posted ).
Do you have a direct contact phone number since all the checks were mailed? Thank you.
ADMIN – Hi Jayne,
The class action administrator is Epiq. Their contact info is as follows:
Portland
10300 SW Allen Blvd.
Beaverton, OR 97005
T +1 503 350 5800
Thank you for the info. I had a $30,000 hold placed for over 6 months and I still have not received my settlement check.
ADMIN – Hi Natalie,
Time to reach out to class counsel.
Thank you for your response. Is there a specific way that they prefer to be contacted?
ADMIN – Hi Natalie,
I don’t think they have preference
An itemized claim pays up to $1600 tops. IF they are even honoring those claims.
How do I contact them? Is there a contact number?
ADMIN – Hi Natalie,
Just scroll up to find their contact info.
JANE DOES…Did you receive ur check yet for itemized verification? I have not received mine and have contacted the class administrator’s twice now and will have answers by Friday they said. We’ll see!
No Sacia is I have not! I have to write as well just need to print and mail response but what happened for you?
I’m not liking this one bit..
I received a payment for $11.57 on Saturday.
I also submitted a claim with verification and still have not received a check. This is ridiculous! As class members who provided proof we should have been handled first.
ADMIN – Hi Saycia,
Have you considered the possibility that your check was stolen in the mail? I highly encourage you to immediately reach out to the class action administrator.
How?
ADMIN – Hi Saycia,
If you scroll up you will see a subheading titled contact. That is the info for the class action administrator.
Hi I’ve sold cars and motorcycles and when the whole amount went to paypals they held my money ,are they earning short term interest on my back …..F them .Then customer service from the some other third world place.
ADMIN – Hi Michael,
I don’t think they earn interest. What they do is use your money to backup other transactions. Similar to what a bank does.
I have not received my check and my paypal is still closed because of someone else comiting fraud and paypal took back the money and they also kept my tennis bracelet and I was in the class action suit but received nothing, really disappointed and paypal still never allowed me to use my original account . I had to open a new one for someone else comiting fraud. Seriously
ADMIN – Hi Denise,
It is best if you contact the class action administrator. It is entirely possible that you have far more complex issues associated to your account than a simple hold.
Two accounts, funds held 180 days, cost me over 20K, filed claims, no money, no return calls from administrator or class counsel. 3.2 million settlement was a joke anyway, Paypal is crooked and still doing the same BS and then the administrators and class counsel a joke as well and they get most of the money!
ADMIN – Hi JP,
You do know you have the option exclude yourself from settlements and go after defendants on your own?
I do now!!
Thanks
Anyone who received the 11.00 disbusenevt check, is there a phone #, or company name? The 877 number is only a recording. Writing seems too uncertain as well.
Is there an email contact, Ms. Admin?
Thank you.
ADMIN – Hi Grecua,
The admin for this settlement is Epic and they can be contacted using this form:
http://www.epiqsystems.com/the-epiq-difference/contact-us
Grecua the # is 1-503-350-5800
Its epiq systems. You’ll prob get the run around and be prepared not to get an answer today. To get a better chance have ur claim confirmation code handy and the PayPal vs. Zepeda case #. Hope that helps.
Thank you for that info. I have the claim, etc that I filed. Did you have any luck?
To date I have not received any settlement. How do I get the specific information about my case?
ADMIN – Hi Paul,
You reach out to the class action admin. If this fails you escalate to class counsel.
Submitted a claim when will receive check??
ADMIN – Hi Christian,
From what I understand many class members received their money this month.
Hello,
I submitted a claim and have a confirmation code but have not received payment. The website says everything was paid out by October 24. How do I find out where my check is?
ADMIN – Hi Stephanie,
Reach out to the class action administrator.
Can you please advise as to how to reach them?
ADMIN – Hi Stephanie,
Scroll up and look for the contact information. We always include it on the main settlement page.
Still not recieved paymenr. A letter from Settlement Administrator said my e-mail address sidn’t match PayPal records so I get nothing. The original emails and fax cover sheets generated by PayPal include my email address, a PayPal claim number and include verbiage that states my account was placed on hold. There exists no greater proof, in my opinion, of my claim and all filinv requiremenrs were met. I ”appealed’ this weak rebuke by Claims Administrator and heard nothing in response. I have yet to hear of anyone recieving an itemized claim payout. How do I reach out to Class Counsel?
What do I say to get someone to properly review my claim?
Thanks Ms. Administrator
ADMIN – Hi Grecua,
Get a hold of class counsel.
I’m placing a law suit against PayPal. I sold a bag through PayPal for 250, right after I sold the bag i left out of town. Buyer request a refund, since I️ was on vacation i did not notice the email until i came back. Once i read the email PayPal had refunded the buyer her money and did not request for the buyer to return my bag . She kept her refund and my bag. PayPal did absulity nothing, stated since they send an email they processed with refund without having buyer to return bag. This is fraud !!! Don’t trust PayPal with your items nor money .
ADMIN – Hi Mariah,
Where did you go? A town with no internet?
I filed a claim with Paypal during the lawsuit. Requesting claim, please.
ADMIN – Hi Redmond,
I believe this was paid a few months ago. You can reach out to the class action administrator to see if they are still reissuing checks. I doubt they are.
This is still going on an not even related to eBay, I returned 9 items to Macy’s on Feb 28, 2018 they all hit pending to pay on March 1, 2018. Five of the transactions were in my available funds to use. Four of the transactions have been in pending status since March 1 so 16 days later. I talked to 5 reps and total runaround, retelling my story, and all had different stories and no solutions as to why this was occuring. I spoke to a supposed Supervisor who said it was a technical problem with their algorithm. He must have thought that sounded good and I would not ask more questions. I asked him what he thought an algorithm was. He said it’s technical, I said no it is actually very logical in function and algorithms don’t hold funds Paypal does. I also told him you can override the system and credit the funds. After working in banking 18 years and 12 with the Federal Reserve bottom line was they are still illegally holding funds for no reason. When I asked to talk to his boss he could only give me an address to their corporate office to snail mail a letter with no name of a person or dept to send it to. My transaction is out of the limits of the lawsuit. Is a new lawsuit starting?
ADMIN – Hi Shelia,
I don’t know of any new lawsuits that apply to your situation.
This is what is happening with my husband just about at least. For 4 weeks now theyve been holding his transfed for 24 hours. I know its not a lot of time for some people but when this is how his employer is paying him its means late fees for bills.
Never heard a thing. . why did I jump through the hoops?????
ADMIN – Hi Dan,
Generally it is best to check on pending settlements almost every month to ensure you have time to escalate when the administrator fails to send your check.
I never received anything and I filed a claim with documentation.
ADMIN – Hi Michelle,
By now the administration for this settlement has closed. There is nothing that can be done anymore.
My son was scammed out of 11,000. Credit cards were stolen and they used them to pretend to buy art and for exorbitant shipping cost. He’s young. Should I file a complaint with the Attorney General of Illinois, We already contacted the FBI. Paypal just wants their money. He doesn’t have any. The scammers do.
ADMIN – Hi Catherine,
I am so sorry about that. Best of luck.
all we got was an confirmation email, with no other ways to check on this and now all has been paid? really.
ADMIN – Hi Hsiao,
Indeed.
Okay i get this is years ago. But what about now. They are placing holds on my husbands transfers every week the hold last 24 hours but they keep giving us different reasons why. First theres flags on your account because to many attempts transferring, second reason was because theres and issue with their security checks its doing it to everyone, now its because of suspected money laundrying. Its a different excuse everytime. This has gone on for a month. Before that he recieved his transfers in 30 min. It is hoe his employer is paying him his checks. Because they are very busy people and we thought this was the easiest way. His checks range from 800-1500 and since they have been 1500 every week for 4 weeks is when they started this holding crap. What can be done about this.
ADMIN – Hi Brandi,
You could contact a class action attorney to see if you have a case.
Hi PayPal limited my account and I can’t withdraw the money on it, until after 180 days. Is there any pending class action I can join At the moment
ADMIN – Hi Kumbi,
I don’t think so but you can always reach out to a class action attorney.
The form is not working. Paypal is screwing me.
ADMIN – Hi Austin,
The deadline for this class action has passed.
Who should I contact about another clasa action suit. They are doing it again. My account has been locked and limited for no reason but they feel it is breaking policy but do not give me specific policy I am breaking.
ADMIN – Hi Austin,
Look for a class action attorney in your area
My husband and I had two separate accounts and neither of us has received a check to this date.
ADMIN – Hi Laura,
If you have not received a share of the settlement you are unlikely to receive one. Most qualified class members have already received payment.
i have sold my things and the buyers have got the merchandise paypal is holding my money without any reason that they can give me i have called over and over again and can get no real reason for them to hold my money.
ADMIN – Hi Mark,
That sounds super frustrating. Time to contact a class action attorney.
I had the same thing happen to me and I have contacted them back in the day and nothing was done about it. But a hold.
This is what happens when PayPal becomes the defacto world bank. You can get blackballed and be unable to get your money. I had this occur with two business accounts of mine and am thankful issues were resolved without the need of an attorney. I happy to see attorneys are ready to take action for consumers. Best to all, Darren Chaker
I don’t no if I got a check my account is under a old address
ADMIN – Hi Terrence,
I believe the balance was placed in PayPal accounts instead of a check.
How do I find out if I am on the list. I been with paypal sense 2007. I just found email that I am on a class action settlement how do I find out?
Hi, Raymond. Sorry, but your question comes four years too late. If you review the claims deadline above, it passed back in 2016.
The holding of funds has affected me. An example is when I was selling on ebay. They should not be allowed to do this. My money gets tied up and the interactions get all messed up. I would like to be part of this settlement. Thank you.
Hi, Kathleen. Thanks for your message, and sorry to hear that. However, we (classactionrebates.com) are *not* the settlement/claims administrator of this case — we are only an online “newspaper” of various class action settlements involving various companies. Please check the settlement website for any updates on the issue, and/or contact the Settlement Administrator directly, if you haven’t already done so. The details are stated above; just scroll up. Thank you, and best of luck.
